Creating a Flash button for your sound board is straightforward if you have your other assets prepared. (2 images that are sized – trimmed audio segments )
Before continuing do you have the following?
 |
Your 2 images for the rollover effect ? (sized to 200p x 200p) |
|
a sound clip of suitable length ? |
|
If so then open FLASH and start by setting up your “stage” to the dimensions of your cells 200 x 200 pix (remember your table is 600 pix W x L 3 x 3cells ) |
|
Next Go File Import to Library and Import your assets to the library so that they can be used in your production |
|
Drag and drop your first image onto the stage and centre it by eye or use the “align” tool |
|
Now convert the image to a button (Insert – Convert to symbol – BUTTON ) |
 |
Next double click the first image and go the intertween and observe 4 frames that represent the states of a button up – over – down – hit (hit = area around button that is active) |
|
Make each a Key Frame ( not the dot appears ) |
|
In the Over Frame drag the image that will appear when your mouse is over the button |
|
in the Down Frame drag and drop the sound clip that you have in the library in the sound Properties box below the stage select: SYNC – Event |
|
If you want the sound to play when you mouse over the button then place the sound in the OVER frame |
Now go File > Publish preview – Default … and test your button
If it works then save and publish your button
Your button will have 2 files an .FLA and an .SWF file your will insert the .SWF file into your table
In DreamWeaver Insert – Media – Flash into the cell of your choice
Now you just have to do this 7 more times !!
You will have to upload your 8 buttons and the HTML table document
